The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the following: "This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map referred to in § 515-5 of the Village of New Haven Zoning Ordinance adopted on January 12, 1999," along with the certification and signature of the Village Clerk.
C.
If, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
changes are made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed
on the Official Zoning Map, such changes shall be entered on the Official
Zoning Map promptly with the effective dates of the changes. No changes
of any nature shall be made on the Official Zoning Map or matter shown
thereon except in conformity with the procedures set forth in this
chapter. Any unauthorized change shall be considered a violation of
this chapter.
D.
The Official Zoning Map, and all files and records
regarding amendments thereto, shall be located in the Office of the
Village Clerk. The Official Zoning Map shall be the final authority
regarding the current zoning status of all land, water, buildings
and other structures or improvements in the Village, regardless of
the existence of purported copies of the Zoning Map which may from
time to time be made or published.
A.
In the event that the Official Zoning Map becomes
damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret due to changes,
the Village Council may by resolution adopt a new Official Zoning
Map, which shall supersede the prior Official Zoning Map. The new
Official Zoning Map may also correct drafting or other errors or omissions
in the prior Official Zoning Map, but no such correction shall have
the effect of amending the original Official Zoning Map or any subsequent
amendment thereof.
B.
The new Official Zoning Map shall be certified and signed by the Village Clerk as follows: "This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map referred to in § 515-5 of the Village of New Haven Zoning Ordinance. This Official Zoning Map supersedes and replaces the previously adopted Official Zoning Map of the Village of New Haven." Unless the prior Official Zoning Map has been lost or totally destroyed, the entire map or any significant portions thereof shall be preserved, together with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment.
The district regulations of this chapter shall
be minimum regulations and shall apply uniformly to all structures,
buildings, uses and land, in accordance with the following:
A.
No building, structure, lot or parcel shall be used,
occupied or altered and no building, structure or part thereof shall
be erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered
except in conformance with all of the regulations specified in this
chapter for the district in which it is located.
B.
No building or other structure shall be erected or
altered:
(1)
To exceed the maximum height or bulk;
(2)
To accommodate or house a greater number of families;
(3)
To occupy a greater percentage of lot area;
(4)
To have a yard, open space, or lot area which is less
than herein required; or
(5)
Which is in any other manner contrary to the provisions
of this chapter.
C.
No part of a yard, other open space, off-street parking
or loading area required to comply with the provisions of this chapter
shall be included as part of the same requirements for another building
unless expressly permitted.
D.
No yard area existing at the effective date of this
chapter shall be altered in any way except in conformance with the
minimum requirements set forth herein. Yard areas created after the
effective date of this chapter shall meet the minimum requirements
of this chapter.
E.
No lot or parcel existing at the effective date of
this chapter shall be altered in any way except in conformance with
the requirements set forth herein. Lots or parcels created after the
effective date of this chapter shall meet the minimum requirements
of this chapter.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries
of districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules
shall apply:
A.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the
center lines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to
follow such center lines.
B.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot
lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
C.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following Village
boundaries shall be construed as following such boundaries.
D.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad
lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
E.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following shorelines
shall be construed as following such shorelines. In the event a shoreline
changes, the boundaries shall be construed as also changing with the
actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following
the center line of streams, rivers, drains, canals and other bodies
of water shall be construed as following such center lines.
Whenever any street, alley or other public right-of-way
is vacated, the land which is vacated, or any portion thereof, shall
be automatically classified in the same zoning district as the property
to which it is attached. Should any portion of the land which is vacated
border different districts, the center of such vacated land area shall
be the dividing line between the districts.
